Crafting your Momento…
Tap the door open. Find your desk. Wave at the team. Tick off day one.
Six interactive acts in your brand colour with your logo throughout: the office door slides open to their name, their desk has four things to tap (role, team, first day, buddy), every teammate is a bubble that waves back, your note sits on a taped card, and a first-day checklist ticks off to confetti. Two minutes to make, free, shared as a link — send it the Friday before they start.
No sign-up · Your logo on every act · Six acts, about 40 seconds · Plays on any phone

Quick answer
To make a welcome card for a new employee, open the Welcome to the Team card, upload your company logo, type their name, role, team, first day and onboarding buddy, write a short note from the team, paste your teammates’ names and a first-day checklist, and send the link the Friday before they start. The new joiner taps the office door open, taps around their desk, waves at the team, reads the note and ticks off the checklist — six interactive acts in about 40 seconds. Free, no account, plays on any phone.
Not a slideshow — a first day they play through. Tap to interact, tap elsewhere to skip, or let it run by itself.
A glass double door with your company logo across the seam. They tap it, the doors slide apart, light floods in and “hello, Aarav!” is waiting on the other side. It opens by itself if they don’t.
A desk with four things to tap: the nameplate (their name and role), the laptop with your logo on the lid (their team), the wall calendar (first day) and the mug (their onboarding buddy). Each tap pops a little card.
Every teammate you list becomes a coloured avatar bubble. Tap one and it waves back: “👋 hi Aarav!”. A few of them wave on their own.
A taped card with your logo, “a note from the Design team”, your welcome message up to 240 characters, and a handwritten “see you Monday”.
Up to six items you write — collect the ID card, meet your buddy, lunch at 1 pm — that they tap to tick off. A progress bar fills, and the last tick sets off confetti.
Your logo with a pulsing ring, “You’re in, Aarav.”, their role, team and company, the start date in handwriting and every teammate’s chip. Replay lives in the corner.
Most welcome e-cards are a GIF with a name on it. This one asks the new joiner to open the door, find four things on their desk, wave at each teammate and tick off a checklist. Every tap answers back. Nothing is required though — leave it alone and each act completes itself.
Built like MomentoCard’s other story cards: dots to show where you are, a hint pill, a replay button at the end.
A dedicated logo slot puts your company mark across the office door, on the laptop lid, on the welcome note and in the finale. No logo? A monogram of the company’s initial in your brand colour stands in. The brand colour slot recolours the door, the buttons and the highlights.
On MomentoCard for Business, the logo, name, role and team are filled in automatically for every new hire on their joining date.
Six fields. Two minutes if you already know who is sitting where.
On the door, the laptop lid, the note and the finale. Square or round works best.
“Aarav Mehta”, “Product Designer”, “Design”. The desk, the note and the finale all read from these.
“Monday, 5 October” and the onboarding buddy’s name. Both show up on the desk.
240 characters from the team. One specific, warm line beats a paragraph of policy.
Comma-separated names. Each becomes a bubble they can tap for a wave; up to 12.
Comma-separated, up to six. Real items — the ID card, the Wi-Fi, lunch — not HR policy.
Anyone with a first day coming up — in the office, at home, or back after a break.
Send it the Friday before. They arrive on Monday already knowing the buddy’s name, the lunch plan and who sits where.
There is no door to walk through on a remote first day. The card gives them one, plus the faces they will see on the first call.
First job, first day, first office. The checklist takes the fear out of it and the wave bubbles make the team feel like people.
Set it up once on MomentoCard for Business and every new hire gets it on their joining date — logo, name, team and role filled in automatically.
Put yourself in the mug. The card introduces you before the first coffee, which is the whole point of a buddy.
Returning from parental leave or a sabbatical? Same card, “welcome back” as the headline, and a checklist of what changed while they were away.
Import employees once with their joining date, build one Onboarding campaign with this template, and MomentoCard for Business sends it at 9 am their time on day one — logo, {{firstName}}, {{department}} and {{designation}} filled in — by email and WhatsApp.
Each one fits the card’s 240-character note. Warm, specific, and about their first day — not the handbook.
We're so glad you're here, Aarav. The Design team has been looking forward to this day. Ask anything, break nothing you can't fix, and come to lunch — the first one's on us.
Welcome to the team! Your desk is ready, your buddy is Priya, and the Wi-Fi password is on a sticky note that we will absolutely deny exists. See you Monday.
Hi Aarav — from all of us in Design: welcome. You were the unanimous choice, and we cannot wait to see what you do here. Day one is easy: show up, say hi, eat.
Aarav, welcome aboard. I hired you because of how you think, so please keep thinking out loud. My door and my calendar are open — book me any time in your first week.
Welcome to the team. No expectations in week one except to meet people and ask questions. The real work starts when you're ready, not before.
Hi Aarav, I'm Priya — your buddy for the first month. I know where the good coffee is, which meetings you can skip and who to ask about anything. Find me at 9:30 on Monday.
Welcome! I sat at your desk two years ago and someone was kind enough to show me around. Consider this me paying it forward. See you Monday.
Team mein aapka swagat hai, Aarav! Desk ready hai, buddy ready hai, aur pehle din ka lunch hamari taraf se. Monday ko milte hain.
टीम में आपका हार्दिक स्वागत है। नई शुरुआत मंगलमय हो — हम सब आपके साथ हैं। सोमवार को मिलते हैं!
Welcome to the team, Aarav! Sawaal poochna kabhi mat rukna, aur chai break pe zaroor aana. Pehla din easy rahega, promise.
Forty more, sorted by who is sending, in the welcome messages guide.
Six items max. The best lists are the small, real ones — the things nobody puts in the handbook.
The card works best before the first day, not on it.
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Offer accepted | Too early for the card, right for a one-line “we're thrilled” email from the manager. |
| ⭐ The Friday before day one | Send the card. They spend the weekend knowing the buddy's name and the lunch plan instead of guessing. |
| ⭐ Day one, 9 am | Play it again on the laptop at their desk, or drop the link in the team channel so everyone waves for real. |
| End of week one | A second card is overkill; a message asking what confused them is not. |
Start with the first-day story, or pick another card for the workplace. Every card is a shareable link.
The first-day story: open the door, tap around the desk, meet the team, read the note, tick the checklist. Your logo throughout.
The other end of the journey: a midnight-and-gold retirement tribute with years of service and a signature wall.
A spinning gold trophy with confetti for the first promotion, award or milestone.
A bright, simple cheer-up card for a tough first week or a Monday morning.
A glass double door with your logo across the seam. They tap it, the doors slide apart and “hello, Aarav!” is waiting inside. It opens by itself if they just watch.
Nameplate, laptop with your logo on the lid, wall calendar and mug — each tap pops a card: their role, their team, the first day, the onboarding buddy.
Paste names comma-separated and each becomes a coloured avatar bubble. Tap one and it waves: “👋 hi Aarav!”. Up to 12 people.
Up to six first-day items you write — ID card, buddy, lunch at 1 — with a progress bar and confetti on the last tick. They complete on their own if nobody taps.
A dedicated logo slot puts your mark on the door, the laptop, the note and the finale; a brand-colour slot recolours the door, buttons and highlights. No logo? A monogram in your colour stands in.
Make it without an account, share a link, and it opens on any phone or laptop. HR teams can send it automatically on every joining date via MomentoCard for Business.
About two minutes, start to shared link.
Go to the Welcome to the Team template on MomentoCard. It opens in the browser; no account is needed.
Upload your company logo and pick your brand colour, then type their name, role, team, first day and onboarding buddy.
A 240-character welcome note, your teammates' names comma-separated, and up to six real first-day checklist items.
Tap Share and send the link on WhatsApp, email or the team channel. It plays full-screen on any phone with no app.
One that answers the three first-day worries — who is my buddy, what happens on day one, is it OK not to know things — and that the new joiner actually plays rather than skims. The Welcome to the Team card on MomentoCard does that in six interactive acts with your logo throughout. It is free, needs no account, and is shared as a link.
From the team, the manager, the buddy and HR — in English and Hindi — plus checklist ideas and when to send.
Gift ideas for the team, by budget, once the new joiner's first birthday comes around.
How the automation side works for teams, families and friends.
Every new hire welcomed on their joining date, automatically, with your logo.
The next card they get from you: automatic birthday cards for the whole team.
One year in — automatic work-anniversary cards on every joining date.
A spinning gold trophy with confetti for the first promotion.
The other end of the journey: a team tribute with years of service and a signature wall.
Birthdays, anniversaries, onboarding and festivals on autopilot, timezone-correct.
Two minutes to make. Send it the Friday before, and Monday starts with a wave instead of a badge queue.
